Very dark crimson right out to rim. Sweet chocolatey notes with top note of herbaceousness that recall St-Emilions past. Lively, rounded, complete wine that is a thoroughly pleasurable, if early-maturing drink. Slightly short finish is the only disadvantage. Not really fine though. (JR)
An enormously appealing, sexy wine, the 2000 exhibits an opaque ruby/purple color along with serious levels of concentrated cranberry, black cherry, and black currant fruit mixed with smoked herbs, licorice, and minerals. Once past the gorgeous perfume, this medium to full-bodied, ripe wine is textured, expansive, and a total hedonistic as well as intellectual turn-on! Anticipated maturity: Now-2015.
About the producer
Situated on the Saint-Emilion side of the appellation’s border with Pomerol, this estate was part of Ch. Figeac until 1879. They were an early pioneer of biodynamic farming, having converted the entire estate in 1997.
